【课堂新坐标】（教师用书）2013-2014学年高中英语 Unit 1 A land of diversity教案新人教版选修8【美文阅读】纵观美国历史，就可见这个国家经常被称为“熔炉”。
在此，各地移民和各种族团体学会了共同建设一个独特的民族。
甚至那些“本土的”美国人——印第安人，也可能是几千年以前，从亚洲走过大陆桥来到北美洲的。
A look at the history of the United States indicates that this country has often be en called “a melting pot”，where various immigrants and ethnic(种族的) groups have learned to work together to build a unique nation.Even those “original” Americans，the Indians，probably walked a land bridge from Asia to North America some thousands of years ago.So，who are the real Americans？The answer is that any and all of them are！And you，no matter where you come from，could also become an American should you want to.Then you would become another addition to America's wonderfully rich “nation of immigrants”．The United States is currently shifting from being a nation of immigrants of mainly European descent to oneof immigrants from other parts of the world，such as Asia and Latin America.The number of recent immigrants has skyrocketed.They desire to escape economic hardship and political oppression in their native countries as well as the desire to seek a better education and a more prosperous(繁荣的) life in America，“the land of opportunity”．Although there are frequent conflicts between the cultures they have brought with them from the “old country” and those found in America，most immigrants learn to adjust to and love their adopted land.【诱思导学】1．What do people often call the United States?______________________________________________【答案】“A melting pot”2．Why do people immigrate to the United States?______________________________________________【答案】They desire to escape economic hardship and political oppression in their native countries as well as the desire to seek a better education and a more prosperous life in America.3．Are there any conflicts between the cultures they have brought with them fromthe “old country” and those found in America?______________________________________________【答案】Yes，there are.Period ⅠPreviewing(教师用书独具)●教学目标本课时主要是通过学生对学案所给出的内容的学习，了解本课文中所出现的词汇，初步了解课文以及相关的背景知识，为下一堂课对课文的全面理解起到一个铺垫作用。

This happens in plants when gardeners take cuttings from growing plants to make new ones, and when small parts of a plant are taken and gown in a laboratory. It also happens in animals when twins identical in sex and appearance are produced from the same original egg.3. It can help cure disease and can help couples who have no baby to bear a new baby.4. There may be more bad people like Hitler.5. In my opinion, I do not agree, for it may cause many moral problems.6.

While listening, pay more attention to the correct pronunciation and tone. Then read the text by yourselves to get the answers to the three tasks. You can work in groups.T: First, what are the problems or dangers of cloning?S: Let me have a try! First, the cloned animals have the same illness of the old animals and the same goes with the other species. Second, the cloned animals have short life and can cause moral questions.T: You are right! And what are the advantages of cloning?S: I know! Firstly, gardeners use it all the time to produce commercial quantities of plants. Secondly, it is valuable for research on new plant species and for medical research on animals. Third ly, it suddenly opens everyone’s eyes to the possibility of using cloning to cure serious illnesses, and even producing human beings.T: What is the writer’s opinion? What do you think is the writer’s point of view in this reading passage? Is it in favour of cloning or against it?S1: I think the writer is in favour of it, because there are many advantages of cloning. It can help people solve many problems in our daily life.S2: I think the writer doesn’t agree with it, because if the cloning technology can be used in an evil way, it can cause much trouble to our society.T: The next question: What is your opinion of cloning? Give the reasons.S1: As a coin has two sides, everything has two aspects. First, if the cloning is used in a correct way it can bring many conveniences to us. Such as: curing serious illnesses and being used to produce commercial qualities of plants. On the other hand, if the cloning is used in an evil way it can cause much troubles: such as moral questions.S2: My view on cloning and nuclear transfer is that it is ethical. So actually I find no reason to clone presently. I have this opinion currently, because scientists are unable to successfully clone using nuclear transfer as of today.Step Ⅴ HomeworkAsk the students to do the following.1. Complete the exercises on page 13.2. Recite the key sentences in the text.3. What is Clone? You might not believe it, but there are human clones among us right now.

Some days later a Dolly appears, then many more. But one day all sheep get the same deadly disease. Now please think about what the results are.S: Maybe they would all die.T: Why?S: Because all sheep have the same arrangement of genes.T: Right. Now can you answer Question 1?

Combine them into a composition.The Fourth Period GrammarStep Ⅰ RevisionCheck the students’ homework.Step ⅡGrammarT: Do you know the appositive clauses? Please pick out three more examples from the reading passage.Sample answers:The fact is that they are natural clones of each other.The whole scientific would follow the progress of the first successful clone, Dolly the sheep. Altogether Dolly lived for six years, half the length of the life of the original sheep.T: Now let me explain something about the appositive clauses. The appositive clause is a clause used as an appositive. The clause is an explanation to the noun before. The appositive clause belongs to noun clauses. Most of the appositive clauses may be introduced by the conjunction that.A content clause is frequently in apposition with such nouns as fact, news, idea, thought, question, reply, report, remark, hope, belief, suggestion etc.Some examples:Nobody shares my belief that he was mad.My suggestion that he was mad was not accepted.They are familiar with the opinion that all matter consists of atoms.Where did you get the idea that I could not come?We haven’t yet settled the question where we are going to spend our summer vacation.The suggestion came from the chairman that the new rule should be adopted.T: The words the fact are often inserted in front of an object clause when the clause cannot be conveniently connected with the verb either directly or by means of the representative it.This cannot hide the fact that he is growing old.We must face the fact that we are living in a revolutionary world.Some supplements:同位语从句与that引导的定语从句1) 从先行词看同位语从句与名次之间在逻辑上是“主语+be+表语”的关系。
